   GST EP 14. Playing the Long Game + Writing Your Life Plan w. David Mullings

   What if you decided who you wanted to be at 15, wrote down the legacy you wanted to leave, and worked backward from there? In this episode, Afiya aka Alja sits down with David Mullings, Founder, Chairman & CEO of Blue Mahoe Holdings (which he says is working toward a NASDAQ listing as a Caribbean-focused impact investment firm), for a conversation about vision, patience, and the thought process behind it all. This is also our first video episode. Watch the full conversation on YouTube: (CLICK HERE) (https://www.youtube.com/@GurlSeeksTribeNYC) WE TALK ABOUT: The 15-year plan David wrote with his parents' support Why sacrifice can be an honor, not a complaint Recalculating like a GPS when the path shifts The football tryout, where his dad told him, "Don't quit halfway" Competent, teacher, coach, sage: the four levels of mastery Curating your community: who can help, where are they, and how can I help them first Advice to the tribe, via Naruto (yeah, you heard that right!)

   GST EP 13. Finding Your Third Space Community w. Brooklyn Tea

   There's a reason you can't build community in your apartment alone, and why the family group chat just isn't enough. We need more  — and we know what it is: sociologists call it the third space. It's not home, not work, but the place where community actually happens. In this episode, host Afiya, aka Alja, sits down with Jamila Wright, co-founder of Brooklyn Tea, to discuss the importance of this third space to the host of GST and the community it serves. This is a space that's personal to Alja as she started coming to Brooklyn Tea during her own therapy journey, and it became one of the first places she felt the difference between a room and a third space. They talk about what it took to build a physical home for a business that started in an apartment out of necessity, the hidden labor behind a space that's designed to feel effortless, and what it actually means to become a regular somewhere. WE DISCUSS: How Brooklyn Tea started in an apartment, but was always planned to be a physical space The sand-timer lesson on presence and attention The daily free tea sample outside the shop, and the "why" behind it The real labor of running a third space What community needs to give back to keep spaces like this alive When you talk about vulnerability, this episode goes there.

   GST EP 12. What to Do If You Don't Know Who You Are Yet w. Special Guest Joel Philip

   Who even am I? Not in a crisis way — in the everyday, waking-up, still-figuring-it-out way. This episode pulls that question apart into its real layers: what you do, where you're from, and who you are underneath both. Joel Phillip — writer, poet, mental health and neurodivergent education advocate — joins Alja for a conversation that goes further than either of them planned. They talk about why Joel stopped leading with job titles, what it means to carry Bajan and Grenadian heritage while being told you're not American enough, not Caribbean enough, and not Black enough all before age 12, and the moment Joel realized: home isn't a place. Home is you. WE DISCUSS: Why "what do you do" and "who you are" are not the same question The line that reframes work itself: "we're so ingrained into slavery that we talk about the fields we work in" Reclaiming "jack of all trades" as an identity, not an insult The layers of home — heritage, place, family — and what happens when none of them quite fit Ego death, versions of yourself you've had to let go, and the ones you're still trying to save Advice on legacy, failure, and why nobody who's gone knew how long theirs would last Make sure to take a listen.

   GST EP 11. Growing Up + Living Between Cultures

   Recorded in Chelsea, Vermont — no studio, no script, just two friends and a conversation about living between worlds. In this episode of GurlSeeksTribe, host Afiya aka Alja sits down with a friend of the tribe who enjoys the peace of being unseen, so you get a voice, a place, and a real conversation. That's it. That's the episode. Together they explore what it means to grow up between cultures: the identities we were handed before we could choose, what it means to live in the in-between, and what home means when it doesn't have one clear address. WE EXPLORE: The cultural inheritance we carry — pride, shame, and everything between The versions of ourselves we maintained depending on who was in the room The translation tax — what it costs to constantly translate yourself When the in-between stops being a problem and becomes the point What home means now — and who gets to hold ALL of you What we'd tell our younger selves about never quite fitting If you've ever felt like you lived between worlds — between cultures, countries, languages, expectations, versions of yourself — this one's for you.

   GST EP 10. The Power of Collaboration & Strategic Networking w. Jessica Sinclair

   Networking can feel like a game you were never taught to play — especially if you've ever felt "othered." But when it's intentional? It becomes community. It becomes opportunity. It becomes how we thrive. In this episode of GurlSeeksTribe, host Alja sits down with Jessica Sinclair, CEO of Sinclair Master of Ceremonies, registered nurse, and founder of the "Network Like You Mean It" workshop, to talk about what marginalized communities are rarely taught about building relationships, and why collaboration is the key to unlocking doors we didn't even know existed. WE EXPLORE: The networking gap — what our communities aren't taught Transactional connections vs. genuine relationship-building How to identify and cultivate the RIGHT relationships Why collaboration over competition changes everything When community becomes your network Where to start if it all feels overwhelming CONNECT WITH JESSICA: 📸 Instagram: @itsjessicasinclair | @sinclairthegr8 🌐 Website: sinclairmasterofceremonies.com | itsjessicasinclair.com Like what you hear at GST?

   GST EP. 9 Burnout Culture and Break Revelations with Gary L. Davis

   We talk a lot about rest like it's something we can take whenever, but this episode is about the other kind — the burnout that doesn't ask politely. The kind that makes you stop, break down, and rebuild yourself from the ground up. GST sits down with Gary Lamont Davis — People and Inclusion Strategist and founder of Equanimity, a wellness community for BIPOC professionals — for an honest conversation about burnout and the revelations waiting on the other side of the break. For so many of us — especially those who've spent a lifetime code-switching, over-functioning, and holding it all together for everyone else — burnout isn't a buzzword. It's a breaking point. But sometimes the break is also the breakthrough. Sometimes you have to fall apart to find out who you actually are underneath all that performing. IN THIS EPISODE, WE EXPLORE: What burnout actually looks like (beyond "I'm tired") The break that forced a reckoning Why high-achievers and helpers burn out hardest The revelations that only come when you finally stop How Equanimity was born from the journey Rebuilding on your own terms — and what grounds you now If you've ever pushed yourself past empty trying to be everything for everyone, this conversation is for you.

   GST EP. 7.5 Where I've Been (A Letter to the Tribe)

   Life has been LIFE-ing. Before the return episode with Chelsea, GurlSeeksTribe host Afiya aka Alja sat down and recorded a few honest minutes about where she's been these last couple of months. It didn't make the original edit — but it always belonged to the tribe. So here it is. This is the first letter to the tribe — a laid-back, occasional community post in a format that feels more like a voice note than a full-on conversation. Consider it a personal audio from the host in between the bigger conversations. In this letter, Alja lets us know where she's been for the last few months, what she's learned about relationships in the silence, and what she hopes to explore with GST soon. No guest. No polish. No over-explaining. Just a check-in, tribe to tribe. Tell us what you think about this check-in, then --> LISTEN NEXT: → GST EP 7: "The Relief of Being Understood" Part 1 (w/ Chelsea Marquis) → GST EP 8: "The Relief of Being Understood" Part 2 (w/ Chelsea Marquis) → COMING TUESDAY: "Burnout Break Revelations" (w/ Gary Lamont Davis) CONNECT WITH GURLSEEKSTRIBE: Website: www.gurlseekstribe.com Email: gurlseekstribenyc@proton.me Instagram: @gurlseekstribe TikTok: @gurlseekstribe SUBSCRIBE: Never miss an episode.

   GST EP 8. "The Relief of Being Understood" Part 2 w. Special Guest Chelsea M

   We're continuing our conversation with Honorary Tribe Member Chelsea Marquis in Part 2 of "The Relief of Being Understood." In Part 1, we talked about the difference between being "understood" and being "tolerated" — and the pain of being fooled by someone who you thought got you but really didn't. Now, in Part 2, we go deeper into the RELIEF. What it actually feels like when someone truly sees you. How to recognize your Vivaldi people when you find them. And what it means to BE that relief for someone else. If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, both parts dropped today — go back and start there. This conversation builds. IN PART 2, WE EXPLORE: The relief of being understood — what it actually feels like Finding your people who just GET it (without explanation) How to recognize your Vivaldi people What it means to be someone else's relief Advice for those still searching for their people Tribe Scribes: Rapid-fire with Chelsea This is the conversation we wish we'd had years ago.

   GurlSeeksTribe makes its return, with a new conversation with Honorary Tribe Member Chelsea Marquis, who joins GST for yet another conversation about something that feels more real than we can put into words. Continuing from our last chat on "The Exhaustion of Explaining Yourself," or the burnout of constantly translating who you are for people who just... don't get it, we dig into the RELIEF of finally being understood.

    GST EP 6. "The Exhaustion of Explaining Yourself" w. Special Guest Chelsea M.

    Chelsea Marquis returns to GurlSeeksTribe to discuss the weight we carry when we're constantly explaining who we are. From family who should know us by now, to friends and peers who still don't quite get it, and to our colleagues and strangers who expect us to translate ourselves into something more digestible. This episode is about that exhaustion. The toll of translation. The burnout of always being the one who has to make themselves understood. If you've ever felt like you needed to take a break from explaining yourself because you're just so damn tired, well, this episode sees you. WE EXPLORE: - The burnout of explaining yourself over and over - The toll of constant code-switching and translation - What gets lost when you're always making yourself palatable - How to protect your energy when you're depleted - Finding pockets of rest in the exhaustion - Permission to stop explaining CHELSEA'S FIRST EPISODE: → "When You're Too Much and Too Little" Part 1 [Link (https://www.spreaker.com/episode/gst-ep-4-when-you-re-too-much-and-too-little-at-the-same-time-part-1-w-special-guest-chelsea-m--70292520)] → "When You're Too Much and Too Little" Part 2 [Link (https://www.spreaker.com/episode/gst-ep-5-when-you-re-too-much-and-too-little-at-the-same-time-part-2-w-special-guest-chelsea-m--70292945)] CONNECT WITH CHELSEA MARQUIS: @Chelz_222 CONNECT WITH GURLSEEKSTRIBE: Website: www.gurlseekstribe.com Email: gurlseekstribenyc@proton.me Instagram: @gurlseekstribe TikTok: @gurlseekstribe SUBSCRIBE: Never miss an episode.

About shrinking less and expanding as far as you can. If you've ever felt like too much for some people and not enough for others, this episode is for you.

    GST EP 2. "What It Means to Find Your Tribe"

    Welcome back to GurlSeeksTribe. WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO SEEK TRIBE? In this episode, we explore what it actually means to "seek tribe" in a world that's more connected than ever but somehow lonelier. Why is finding your people so hard? And what are we really looking for when we search for community? We discuss: - The difference between community and tribe - Why millennials are lonelier than ever despite being "connected" - The third space crisis and where we're supposed to meet people - What authentic community actually looks like - How to recognize your tribe when you find them This episode is for anyone who's tired of surface-level connections and ready to find their people. If you resonated with Episode 1's Vivaldi moment, this episode takes it deeper: okay, we know we're "other" - now how do we find others who get it? DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODE: - Loneliness statistics and the millennial experience - What makes a tribe different from friends or family - The loss of third spaces in our cities - Red flags vs. green flags in community - Why vulnerability is the price of admission CONNECT WITH GURLSEEKSTRIBE: 🌐 Website: www.gurlseekstribe.com 📸 Instagram: @gurlseekstribe ✉️ Email: hello@gurlseekstribe.com Join our community events: gurlseekstribe.com/events New episodes every Tuesday.

    GST EP 3. "The Version of You That You Were Told To Be"

    Who told you who you were supposed to be? In Episode 3 of GurlSeeksTribe, we explore the weight of expectations—from family, culture, society—and what happens when the person you were told to be doesn't match the person you actually are. This episode is about unlearning. Unbecoming. And finally, allowing yourself to become who you were always meant to be. In this solo chat, host Alja discusses: - Being shaped by the expectations of your family - Family scripts and cultural "shoulds." - The gap between who you are and who you were told to be - The relief of finally dropping the mask - Unlearning as a form of self-discovery - Allowing yourself to become — even when it's messy This episode is for anyone who's ever felt like they're living the life someone else has determined for them. For the people-pleasers. The "good ones." The ones who followed the script and still felt empty after doing it. The ones who had the courage to enter the land of "becoming." You're allowed to change. You're allowed to become. Your story isn't finished.

    Welcome to GurlSeeksTribe - a podcast and community for anyone seeking belonging as they navigate adulthood in the city. In this inaugural episode, I share my otherness origin story, aka my "Vivaldi Moment".  And that moment changed everything  — even the trajectory of my podcast, Adult-ish.

If you've ever felt different, this episode is for you. If you've ever felt like you don't belong, this episode is for you. If you're still searching for your people, hopefully, this episode is for you. WHAT'S IN THIS EPISODE: - What is a "Vivaldi moment" and why does it matter? - The difference between fitting in and belonging - What it means to be othered and why it's important to build our own community - The birth of GurlSeeksTribe and what we're building together - How to be a part of the GST network This is the foundation.
